As white supremacists and neo-Nazis try to infest our communities with hate, it is important to contest their revisionist history. We should take down their symbols, but also examine the untruths taught in our schools about the Civil War.

A renegotiated NAFTA that subordinates the needs of workers will meet the fate of the now-dead Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) free trade deal. The humans in the United States, Canada and Mexico won’t be tricked or trickled down on again.

Movements, not politicians, are driving debate within the Democratic Party. The outcome is far from clear, but bemoaning this battle is like decrying the rising of the sun. People are engaged, and the demand for change is real.

Supremacists came to Charlottesville because they’re afraid of change - so afraid, they’re willing to terrorize the rest of us to prevent it. Here's what we can do now to help dismantle racism in Virginia and beyond.

People’s organizations, armed with the peaceful power of the vote, can take back statehouses in Virginia and all across the country, reversing the agenda of helmeted cowards and their allies. Wouldn’t that be the sweetest revenge?

There are only two sides here: Right and wrong. Murderer and victim. Hatred and love. When it really matters, the president of the United States refuses to call terror by its name, or pick a side. But we can.

Betsy DeVos says she supports "great public schools," but her actions show her hypocrisy. She undermines public options, yet favors schools owned by her friends. What she really wants is to tilt the playing field toward private ownership.

Is the anti-Trump resistance evolving into a movement that produces leaders with a mandate to govern with a progressive, grassroots-based agenda? We are seeing evidence that the answer will be a resounding "yes."

It was a big day on Long Island. President Donald Trump was jetting in for a victory lap on health care and some “tough talk” about immigration. Easy, right? Sorry, Donald. Things didn’t work out quite the way you expected!

Tipsy New Year’s Eve for Obama

After two years in office and feeling constrained by the relentless demands of the job President Barack Obama finally got shitfaced.

On condition of remaining anonymous, a source reported from the Hawaii White House that the president had a double vanilla bean frappuccino made from a recipe he stole from an unnamed coffee establishment.

Mrs. Obama added a few extra drops of caffeine to the brew along with a generous helping of Viagra hoping to perk up the president. But Obama got so tipsy that he lost a game of Chinese checkers he was playing with a staff member who was trying in vain to let the president win.

The president was upset that none of his staff remembered to pack his yellow rubber ducky for the trip to Hawaii. The First Lady promised to buy him another one at the earliest opportunity but the president could not be consoled.

“It just wouldn’t be the same,” the president is reported to have said.

The president then threatened to phone the pilot of Air Force One and send him back to Washington to retrieve his rubber ducky.

After a brouhaha with the First Lady, the president relented and agreed to let Joe Biden bring the ducky to Hawaii.

“I can’t even win a negotiation with my own wife,” the president said angrily.
